Wishing for a swim-up pool bar?
You’re not alone! We are asked repeatedly to recommend properties that have bar facilities within the pool area so that guests can relax all day without having to leave the sunshine. In Samoa there isn’t a large call for these kinds of facilities are most guests are getting out and about during the day, however there are two options you can choose from! Coconuts Beach Club Resort & Spa and Saletoga Sands Resort & Spa are the only two swim-up bars in Samoa. The first option, Coconuts, sits on the southern coast of Upolu at around the half way mark of the island. Their unique selling point is their offering of the only overwater accommodation in Samoa, with a true tropical laid-back vibe. And their pool is shaped like a gecko! Saletoga, by comparison, is nestled on a private bay further along the south coast with a more communal feel. Both properties are rated 4-stars and good for couples and family holidays.
Wishing for a beachside massage?
We all dream of soft hands and relaxing massage while we listen to the sounds of the waves breaking. It’s a vital part of any truly relaxing holiday! Lucky for massage enthusiasts, there are plenty of great day spa’s on offer!
